Remove text from a picture

This is a jpg downloaded from the internet. For starters, I'd like to know how best to remove the row of text above the picture without disturbing the pattern underneath. Then I want to bring it into Encore as a DVD menu with a replacement layer where the picture is.
Looks pretty nice with a Gradient fill over the text, but I should be able to remove the text (I hope)?

My algorithm for such problems are:
1. select roughly by some selection tool.
2. use ColorRange to letters with big fuzziness about 150 (depends of background and text color).
3. expand selection by 2-5 pixels to make selection little bit bigger than letters.
4. use Content-Aware Fill.
5. use stamp for perfectionism.
Or sometimes i just stamp it or use Curt Y 'copy-paste' method (if background don't contain kinda gradients, in that case stamping is doable but hard).

  • Help with removing text from background

    Hi,
    I'm pretty new to this, but I'm trying to figure out how to remove text from a background.  My problem is that when I use tools to grab the text, it only selects part of it because the pixels of the text are actually different colors as it blends in with the backgorund.  Does anyone have a quick idea how to do this?
    Thanks

    Don't you like to see people's websites/projects/works in forums?  Seems to me that you get to know people and what they are into when they post their work.  Anyways in the spirit of you helping me, here is the picture.
    I'm trying to remove the letters from the background.  Everything about the letters including the shadows.

  • How to remove text from .swf animation?

    how to remove text from .swf animation? Can no find this text
    in fla file. Flash 8.

    exactly what 'text' are you referring to? text that you typed
    on the Stage using the 'textTool'? simply select the text with the
    'arrowTool' and hit delete.
    If you are referring to a textField that you want to
    eliminate after a certain amount of time, within your animation
    sequence. first copy the text, create a new layer, paste the text
    in place, then where you want to have the text 'disappear' insert a
    'blank keyframe' at that point in the text layer.
    OR place the textfield within a MC and remove it with code.
    OR if the text is dynamic and you wish to use the position at a
    later time, pass a value of null or and empty string to the field
    at the point you wish. And there are other ways still. :) hope one
    of these works for you.

  • Help! Trying to remove text from an already saved image

    I accidently saved an image with my watermark & now the image is locked & also saved as a jpeg image.  I can't remove the text without stamping it out or just starting over.  Does anyone know how to remove text from an image that has already been saved?

    You could have saved it before closing the image. As long as the image is open in Editor, we can always go back to the original position and get back the original file.
    In case you have closed, check if you have saved it as a version set. If your file name contains "edited-1" something, you have the file preserved.
    Otherwise, if you have replaced the file without having any copy of it anywhere else, you cannot revert the changes.

  • Remove keywords from multiple pictures -  how to??

    REMOVING keywords from multiple images doesn't work here on Aperture 2.1.1. I select multiple pictures, remove a common keyword from the list in the Metadata inspector and... only the keyword from the picture which I selected last is being removed. All other pictures still have the keyword attached. Edit > Primary Only is not 'turned on'.
    What did I miss?

    Go to 'Window' > 'Show Keyword Controls'.
    In the text box, write the keyword that need to be removed from all selected images and press SHIFT + ENTER.
    If you use the Keyword Button Sets, you can also click on the keyword to be removed while holding down the SHIFT- key.

  • Batch removing text from mails in folder

    Hi
    I have a folder in Mail in which I'm collecting mails from a mailing list that have attached photos. I was wondering whether anyone knows of an automated way of either removing all the text from those mails, just leaving the photos, or, better still, extracting all the photos in the mailbox to put in a normal folder.
    Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Matthew Whiting

    Thanks David. That was exactly what I wanted to do, and so simple and so obvious. I knew I posted the question in the Mail folder for a reason.

  • Pulling Text From A Picture

    i have a website that i am redesigning. The website is made up of png images. unYaaaaY!!!!!
    A friend said that there was a way that i could use illustrator to pull the text from the png and copy to pages for editing. He cant remember how it was done cause he watched his former boss do it. (he said)
    How is this done?
    I am decent with PS but novice at AI.

    Illustrator cannot, but Acrobat can do OCR. Document >> OCR Text Recognition >> Recognize text using ocr.
    Acrobat sometimes does a good job, but often messes up spaces and more.
    I have not tried Ocrad, but it is free ocr software, or try ominipage.

  • I want to remove photo from one picture and move it to another. How is this done?

    I would like to take a photo from one picture with a different background and move it to another photo that has better scenery for the project i am working on. How is this done?

    In Editor, go to the expert tab.
    Open picture B, the one you wish to select something from to add to another picture.
    Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the object. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
    Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the selection to the clipboard
    Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
    Use the move tool to position object from picture B.
    In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and object B on a separate layer.

  • How can I remove text from an image

    I was trying to use the magic wand and then inverting but it is not removing the text.
    I tried the clone stamp but it's on a tile background so very hard to make it look good. I just want to redo the text because it was written by someone that does not speak English/American.
    Thanks in advance for your help

    Basically, the Vanishing Point filter allows you to identify the perspective in part of an image, then clone from other parts that are at a different distance; it takes care of the scaling.  It's pretty slick, though I've always thought it would be better integrated directly into Photoshop rather than being in a plug-in type format.
    The other day I used it on a photo of a series of statues of archers.  The one on the end was missing part of her bow...

  • Removing Text from A Database

    I have an access database that I want to run an internal
    update query that looks for a specific snipitt of text and removes
    just that. How would I do that?
    Thanks

    You can do it with access, check out the string functions
    here:
    http://www.techonthenet.com/access/functions/index.php
    You can also use ASP functions to manipulate the string from
    a query:
    http://www.w3schools.com/VBscript/vbscript_ref_functions.asp
    If you want to start using the database in other ways look
    into using MSSQL 2005 Express - it free and has most of the
    features of the $$$ version. You can use access as a front end and
    upload your access dbs to SQL server real easy, you will be glad
    you took the time.
